Bethesda Softworks announced today that it will publish WET, an all-new action game from Artificial Mind and Movement (A2M). WET, in development for Xbox 360 and PS3, is scheduled for release this autumn.
WET is described as a highly stylised third-person shooter than blends acrobatics, gun play and sword kills. The game’s heroine, Ruby, is able to engage in combat while sliding on floors, running on walls, jumping, flipping and performing acrobatic moves.
“We’re very excited about the opportunity to bring WET to all gamers,” said Vlatko Andonov, president of Bethesda Softworks. “Our proven success as a publisher which focuses on select, innovative titles matches up perfectly with WET’s new class of gameplay.”
Ruby Malone (voiced by Eliza Dushku of Buffy fame) is an expert in wetworks – covert operations that get a little messy. Players embark on a story full of double crosses and paybacks as Ruby visits locations around the world. We’re promised a mix of humour and violence, a unique retro film visual treatment, and original 70’s inspired music.
WET was first unveiled by Sierra back in August 2007, but was dropped following the formation of Activision Blizzard.
